Indonesia Urges UNESCO to Create Global Rules for AI Use by Children
Published
The Indonesian government has officially urged UNESCO to draft a global policy regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital devices for children. This step was taken to ensure that the rapidly evolving technology remains safe and supports the growth and development of the younger generation worldwide.
In its proposal, Indonesia emphasized the importance of considering educational and cultural aspects in every rule created. The government believes that every country has a different background, so the policies drafted must be flexible while still providing strong protection for children against the negative impacts of technology.
Uncontrolled use of gadgets and AI is feared to affect children's mental health and learning patterns. Therefore, Indonesia hopes that UNESCO can serve as a platform for member countries to share better and more measurable digital safety standards.
Beyond the aspect of protection, Indonesia also wants to ensure that AI technology can be utilized as an effective educational tool. With clear global rules in place, it is hoped that children will be able to access technology in a more productive and creative way in the future.
As a next step, Indonesia will continue to coordinate with UNESCO to formulate the policy draft. It is hoped that this initiative can be implemented soon to create a healthier digital ecosystem for children in Indonesia and at the international level.
